1 Are All Floating Structures Vessels? Stephanie Showalter, J.D. Sea Grant Law Center University of Mississippi
2 Why Does Vessel Status t Matter? Seamen vs. Longshoremen Injured seaman may bring negligence action against employer under Jones Act of Longshoremen limited to state workmen s compensation benefits under Longshoremen and Harbor Workers Compensation Act. Jones Act and LHWCA are mutually exclusive.
3 To qualify for seaman status: t Contribute to the function of a vessel or the accomplishment of the vessel s mission and Have an employment-related connection to a vessel in navigation which is substantial in both duration and nature.
4 Stewart t v. Dutra Construction ti Co. In 1993, Willard Stewart t injured while working on Super Scoop. Large floating platform which h operates as dredge with clamshell bucket. Has navigation lights, ballast tanks, and dining area. Incapable of self-propulsion. l Positional movement achieved via anchors and cables.
5 Super Scoop
6 Was Stewart t a Seaman? District Court and First Circuit ruled that Stewart was not a seaman because Super Scoop not a vessel. Stewart t barred from pursuing Jones Act negligence claim. Appealed to the Supreme Court
7 Vessel Statust 1USC U.S.C. 3 The word vessel includes every description of watercraft or other artificial i contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on water. Special Purpose Structures Submersible b drilling barges and mobile drilling barges Yes Fixed offshore platforms, new vessels under construction, and floating work platforms No
8 Stewartt Test Under Sec. 3, a vessel is any watercraft practical capable of maritime transportation, regardless of its primary purpose p or state of transit at a particular moment.
9 Super Scoop is Vessel Capable of Transportation Dredges serve a waterborne transportation function, since in performing their work they carried machinery, equipment, and crew over water. Watercraft is not capable of being used if permanently moored or otherwise rendered practically incapable of transportation t ti or movement. M d k d i t d Moved workers and equipment around Boston Harbor
10 On Remand First Circuit found that: Stewart s work contributed to the performance of the Super Scoop s s mission and His connection was substantial. Seaman for Jones Act purposes. Case remanded to District Court for further Case remanded to District Court for further proceedings on liability, damages, etc.
11 Circuit it Courts Post-Stewart t Seventh Circuit Tagliere v. Harrah s Illinois Corporation Floating casino moored to a pier for two years is a vessel. No evidence that casino was permanently moored
12 Second Circuitit Uzdavines v. Weeks Marine Bucket dredge is a vessel Limited capacity to move across the ocean floor by walking using cables
13 Fifth Circuitit Holmes v. Atlantic Sounding Co. Holmes injured on BT-213, a 140-foot long and 40-foot wide floating dormitory moved by tugs. In 2005, ruled it was not a vessel. Reversed in light of Stewart Practically capable of transporting equipment, personnel, and cargo Vessel even though totally incapable of self- propulsion
14 Eighth Circuitit Bunch v. Canton Marine Towing Cleaning g barge is a vessel even though Moored to bottom of Missouri River by spud poles Did not have propellers Could not moved by itself Occasionally moved between banks of river No evidence of permanent mooring Near or at the outer limits of what this court would recognize as a vessel.
15 Derrick Boat Michigan District i t Court
16 Crane Platform Penn. District i t Court
17 Casinos Not Vessels M/V Belle of New Orleans Alabama district court Permanently moored to dock with steel cables; Received power and other utilities from shore; Stationary at all times M/V Crown Casino Texas district court Indefinitely moored to land by lines tied to pilings Received utilities from shore Never been used in navigation since placement
18 Conclusions Under new test, any watercraft large enough to carry people, equipment, and/or cargo could be considered vessel. Limiting factors permanent mooring or taking out of service Ruling will likely increase number of injured workers who qualify for seaman remedies Carefully consider ramifications of a vessel determination and plan for all contingencies.
